Correct

SHAYLA SAYS: Correct! This is a hedge apple. People put them in their basements to keep the spiders away, but that's a myth. It doesn't work. The one dad gave me was frozen, but it's not any more. Mom said we had to get rid of it. Dad found it when he was hiking through the woods with Uncle Jeff before the party and he brought it to me. They're green and yellowish and they have wrinkles and remind me of a monkey brain. Wasn't that gross? Thanks for playing my game. I hope you had fun too. Mom and I really laughed with your silly guesses!

December 2004. Making Gingerbread Houses with Aunt Marty

I guess this wouldn't fit in Santa's sleigh; it arrived last night! Shayla danced with her ballet barre late into the evening.

Traditions are so hard. Tonight we will do something different. That should help, I hope!

You know, we found some hedgeapples out at my parents house last fall and we tried them in the four corners of our basement, which I always "lovingly" refer to as the spider basement. We didn't see a lot of them.

But then that could also have been due to the fact that the Blanchard River entered our basement last August and wiped them all out.

the hedge apples do look like monkey brains ! - I think they look worse frozen though x - How beautiful does Shayla look with her ballet barre , so grown up and sweet ! Have a wonderful Christmas , And remember that Christi is with you in spirit - She will be having the most wonderful xmas with the lord himself ! Shayla i hope that Santa brings you everything you asked for , you deserve it hunny ! love you all lots Amber xxx
